How do YOU write?
What medium do you use when writing poetry/ short stories etc? To you use fountain pen & paper, computer, typewriter?
Also- where do you write? bedroom, office, kitchen, garden, beach.....
I find that my thoughts flow better (and my handwriting looks soooo much neater) when I use a pacer (mechanical pencil) and thin lined notepaper (the kind you tear off at the top). And I tend to write sneakily while I'm at my desk at work.
Anyone with theories as to what works best from a creative angle?
I do type up my poetry after i've hand written it (I'm compiling them into a book, so it's kinda necessary). But I keep all the hand written stuff in a carved wooden box at home.
Wow- seems a lot of people write on their computers- but i can never do it! typing's not the issue- i touch-type about 80wpm, but i can never connect with a machine- it takes me too far away from the essence of what i'm doing - the "art form" that is writing (hehe- how pompous does that sound!)
I usually record my poems when that burst of inspiration hits (when I'm at home), as it is, unpolished. I don't have a favourite place to write really, because my poetic thoughts just seem to sneak up on me. And I just got to have it documented in someway (sometimes I even save drafts in my cell if I have no paper or am at work & away from my laptop or little spiral notebook). Then I either type it or write it down in my little notebook. I usually listen to jazz or classical, depending on my mood, to kind of free my mind - it helps my creative process.
I love to write when its raining outside, that's when I'm most creative.
